Jim Hendry Quotes on Discomfort (5 Quotes)

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

Hopefully, it's just a little snag and he's back with a few days setback and he's back on his program at the end of the week. Today was the first day that he ever told O'Neal or Larry that he had discomfort.

It can't be a real significant injury because it's hard to believe somebody can throw 98 miles an hour and have a serious arm problem. He hasn't had any discomfort at all. He hasn't had any complaints since going to the 'pen.

He's been a winner for a long time. He's a gamer. He made 14 starts in a lot of discomfort. He's a risk health-wise, but his makeup and character are good. Even if he helps us the last three, four months of the season, it will be worth the gamble, plus if he clicks, we can look at him for 2007.

Hopefully, it's just a little snag. When he said he had discomfort, that was the first time he had said that all spring.
